About me... 

Hello! I am a North-West (S. Manchester) based model who enjoys shoots with a quirky edge or fine art feel. 

I am very easy going and happy to take direction but equally happy to free flow. I am relatively petite with an athletic build, very toned arms and slim waist. Brown / blonde long hair with some highlights but looks natural. I have 3 tattoos, a few ear piercings and wear a small nose stud which can be removed or replaced with a ring. 

Levels

I am happy to shoot up to implied nude if I can see the artistic merit for doing so - not for the sake of it, with the same going for lingerie. I will not do anything of this nature TFP or with someone that I haven't worked with before and it is entirely at my discretion.  Depending on the nature I prefer anything in this remit to be anonymous.

I am absolutely not open to explicit or sexual themes, no full nude and nothing remotely erotic, O/L etc.

For clarity and the avoidance of any doubt if you wish to shoot anything of this nature with me, we must discuss full expectations prior and have shot together before. I will not work with anyone that pressures me into anything.

Things you might be interested in 

• Skilled equestrian and very confident rider / around horses
• Flexible with very good balance 
• I adore being outside and nature - I can work with the landscape and would love to shoot with you in a gorgeous setting outside 
• I have access to a wide range of settings for gorgeous location shoots and plenty of local knowledge for nice spots with good natural light
• I am happy to travel but for any distance, fuel must be covered if you are looking to work on a TFP basis 
• The majority of outfits seen in my equine portfolio are not my own so please ask prior to shooting. Although I am petite I have very muscular shoulders and arms so if you wish me to wear something for the shoot of your own please bear this in mind 
• Happy to do own hair and make up but anything overly artistic / complex will require an MUA. Unless specified, I will come to every shoot with neutral makeup, painted nails (must be give at least a month's notice for nude colour and will only do this for non TFP as I pay to have them done professionally) and tidy hair that can easily be put up or down. 
• I have horses - see below section for equine shoot notes.
• Very happy to work with new and experienced togs but will only do tfp if it benefits my portfolio
• I have 3 tattoos - one down the centre of my spine, a mini and easily photoshopped one on my wrist and one at the top of my thigh. None are likely to be visible for the majority of fine art type work that I tend to cover

Equine

I have a horse and a pony, both of which can be used for shoots. These rates are separate and I will not use my own horses on a TFP basis. See portfolio images for photos of each.

Dapple grey horse:

• Interaction
• Ridden work (dressage movements upon request, Spanish walk)
• Headshots
• Tricks - I have trick trained him myself and can perform a variety of tricks including Spanish walk, bow, smile, salute and lie down (location dependent and additional rate - must be discussed prior)
• Liberty and tackless ridden work (as with above tricks) 

Black and white pony:

• Good at standing for camera should you wish to shoot horse only headshots 
• Some basic tricks (location dependent)
• Interaction shots
• No ridden work 
• She is a rescue pony so must always have a good experience on shoots so she cannot do as long as the horse and must have plenty of breaks 

Please message me to discuss as my horses' welfare is paramount so I will not ride on hard ground or for extended periods of time without rest (ridden work limited to 1hr maximum regardless of breaks, but we can cover plenty in that time). If you have never shot horses before you must be prepared for me to take the lead as they are not circus animals and will not be treated as such. I am very happy to help with suggestions and advice on the best moments to capture the best shot etc. 🦄

We have a huge amount of wonderful scenery to use locally and if you wish to shoot in costume, a huge variety of dresses, gowns etc can be hired from E J Lazenby upon request. 

What I am looking for

I want to have fun and create some amazing art! Weekends or evenings work best. While I am happy to do some limited TFP shoots that add to my portfolio, please do not be offended if I turn down a TFP shoot with you. 

For anything over 10 miles I would expect fuel to be covered. Please get in contact if you would like to arrange something and discuss rates :-)
